I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the sub for a joke wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this sub is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.
You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love the show and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this sub is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find this sub closed for the sake of irony. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.

Maybe we will get better prices or bigger sales. Free games? Oh wow. Wait, no reviews because gamers are babies who review bomb? Hmm. Maybe this store ain't gonna be so harmless after all. Wait, now you're going to buy off publishers with money so u can keep games all to yourself? That is not competition. That's a monopoly. Holy shit, it's like the epic store was Zerg all along and now it's fleshy purple pink everywhere. Fuck. Get me outta here. Sorry Obsidian, but you r dead to me now. I'm very sad.

Watch as the majority of people don't give a shit about their dumb Epic đ Game Store boycott and continue to buy games on there.

I can't believe I have to exit out of steam, click the epic games store icon and wait for it to load before I can play Outer Worlds. I am outraged.

I don't get it, it's not like it won't run on their system. Do they care about their steam profile that much?
